How to get public and political support for climate and energy transition laws and how to approach climate action in the times of social crisis? Why legislation is important on the road to net zero? What makes a law credible, effective and investable? The expert panel will discuss these questions drawing on the experiences in Chile, the EU, Germany, Spain and the UK. Hear the results of a new study on the attitudes of citizens towards the climate and energy transition legislation in Spain; latest developments on the net zero framework in the EU and the discussions on how to address climate concerns through the process of developing a new constitution in Chile.
